New Zealand Clinch First ODI Series Win in India with 2-1 Victory

New Zealand secured their first-ever ODI series win in India by defeating the hosts 2-1 in a three-match series, clinching the final ODI at Indore by 41 runs. New Zealand posted 337 for eight, powered by centuries from Daryl Mitchell (137) and Glenn Phillips (106). India’s chase faltered early, despite Virat Kohli’s resilient 124 and maiden fifties from Nitish Kumar Reddy and Harshit Rana. Kohli’s efforts were insufficient as India were bowled out for 296, marking a historic series loss at home against New Zealand.
